Wow that is a huge leap in memory for that price point. Just better to get the pricier one. I really, really hope these badboys get ebayed cheap, but know the douches there it will be really pricey.

its shape and asorted colors reminds me of the old Ipod nano.

whoa, Peter your not boycotting PA anymore? anyways this devise is very interesting, the 3rd party apps problem with every nokia phones are solved in this sole devise as demoed on a Blog in GSMarena, they showed how to port Android apps to this devise, the only downside is the absurd price tag. . .

Harmattan UI on MeeGo is just awesome..!
8MP Carl Zeiss camera is the best ever

The only thing to mention is that Eldar Murtazin is not a Nokia insider but an infamous gabber.

Meego may just turn out to be one of the best OSes ... Samsung & HTC can think of buying it off.

Actually, this is Nokia Harmattan UI (Maemo 6); no moblin/intel influence whatsoever. It's called Meego under the joint development agreement...but it's really Maemo 6, which is a full Linux Distro. Yes, it's the last of its kind ito the OS...but developments are based on Qt...a rather ubiquitous development framework. A department at Nokia will continue to support it...along with a rather active and large open source / Qt community. As for the Swipe UI...I suspect this Nokia IP will find its way onto other devices using other platforms simply becasue it's intuitive and allows for a button-less face. Feedback on Nokia's swipe gesture UI have been excellent.

Way to go Nokia. . . Formula on how to kill N9 and promote WP7 powered Nokia Devises -------> Make it an absurdly expensive devise then ship it to limited markets. . .

I suspect it went to certain markets to ensure the physical design is recognized by consumers and in the market (for IP reasons), whilst not confusing the near-term launch of Nokai WP products in other strategic markets. As for price...pre-order demand seems to be strong. As well, price usually drops off after a few months.

Meego back to Android :) I would love to own this but the fact it has an OMAP single core processor and the high price isn't justifying the extra memory.

I will rather get the unlocked iPhone 5 when its out. Spec will probably be better than the N9

the story will prevail. huge hype but a complete failure due to lack of support same as webos. What makes it worse is the high price tag. i prefer my gs2

Got both variants on pre-order at Expansys, though no pricing there yet, but if the prices above prove accurate, there is no way i can justify the 64GB one, and might stuggle to convice myself the 16GB one is worth it. Around $500 would be more reasonable.

Guys, I don't care that the phone is more expensive than its dual-core competitors, it looks sexy. That curved, raised screen with no fixed navigation bar makes it look almost futuristic.
Although I am a little turned off by the fact that it is a plastic body, not the metal body I was expecting from Nokia (at least according to the author of this article).
